Neverwinter is a dungeons and dragons based game. Comment down bellow is you want to see more/know an area where I can improve. Thanks!
1. Get the game (shocker Ik)
2. Decide you race. There is a gender (no affect on gameplay) and races. each race has two distinctive passive skills and one called Ability Scores, which determines to what main stats (strength, vitality, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, charisma) are added as a racial bonus. Chose what fits you! I usually go for the ones with good passive skills because main stats can be gotten by leveling.
3. Decide your class.

What are roles? They are what skill set or role they have. DPS have high damage. Ranged are ranged DPS. Healer/support assist allies. Tanks soak up damage. If I were you, Don’t pick supports. The only allies you can be sure it’s there are your pets (not very good). I personally am not fond with range ether. All of the rest of the options are story based. Play on and have a good day!
